Whoah, thanks for all the input, guys. :-D I think I phrased my questrion a bit confusingly: I was really wondering whether someone (not Logitech) would be able to transform any kind of Android phone (I took Android as it is a supposedly more open system) into a Squeezebox controller via some kind of hack (removing the lockscreen and single-tasking the controller app). I don't mind using a phone 'only' as a controller, seeing as I would be spending the same amount for Sonos' dedicated controller. -- HelgeP HelgeP's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32200 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86926 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Possibility to build dedicated controller based on Android?
One of the pros of a Sonos system for me has always been the availability of a dedicated easy-to-use controller. Sure, we have the Controller (as in part of the Duet) if you can wait the 30 seconds it needs to wake up or can live with the clunky wheel interface. Sure, we have the apps for Android and iDevice, but if you have non-techie guests or partners, a real dedicated controller would be much easier in my opinion. Is there any possibility to build a complete dedicated controller that is just used for controlling the squeezeserver (+ a receiver in my case)? Without any lockscreen or app searching, a controller that just shows the interface as soon as you lift it from the table (most of the phones do have a sensor for that, right?). Would that be possible? Am I the only one who would spend some money for that alone? Otherwise I have a hard time convincing the rest of my household to adopt the SqueezeBox as the main music source... -- HelgeP HelgeP's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32200 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86926 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[slim] MusicIP mix consisting of only 2-3 songs
I have now managed to update all songs with MIP information and according to the headless interface, only ~20 of 14.000 are non-mixable. However, when I try to start a MusicIP mix from a given songs, most of the time, it only shows a playlist of two to three songs, even with well-known artists/songs. Is there somewhere I can see a log of what the magicmusicmixer (internal name of MusicIP on my Ubuntu server) is doing and what information it is lacking? Thanks! P.S.: I was thinking of switching to Sonos, mostly due to inexplicable connection losses and the clunky Duet remote (which I absolutely don't use anymore), but the lack of any kind of automatic playlist creation kept me here. :-) -- HelgeP HelgeP's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32200 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86629 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] MusicIP mix consisting of only 2-3 songs
Yep, you were right, apparently I misunderstood this option, I thought no meant to not mix the genre, whereas it actually means do not limit mix to genre.
